All Your College Event At One Place

Avent — A new event organizer

Brief

To help students enroll in college event/competition easily. (This project is limited to solving a problem for an individual college)

Project Process

I went through these processes to complete this project

Research > Alternative Design > Prototyping

My role

This was a personal project thus I worked on all the Research, UX, and UI designs

Time constraint : 1 week

Research

I researched in the following order

Naturalistic observation > Focus group > survey

What is the current way students
enroll in a college event?

There is a team of students who organize an event at colleges, events like Quiz Competition, Spell bee, etc.
And the main way students come to know about these events is through nominal advertising by the organizers. They advertise and give out information regarding event say date, time, and location of an event also students have to pay for these events to enroll in it via Cash, website, or mobile payment app

The current method of enrolling in a
college event is not efficient. Why?

The current method is very chaotic and hectic both for the students and the organizers. There is not a single organized place where you can find all the events and look for an event you like. Hence missing out on many opportunities. Notice boards used to be the best way but in fast-moving lives, nobody has time to look into notice boards anymore. And it has its limitations

Focus group

From the focus group, I learn the main problem students face is not knowing if the event is going to be good or does it even worth their time. I also learn that students want to go with someone

Survey

Here are the results of a small online survey I conducted with 12 participants

After conducting some interviews and analyzing survey data here are my findings

1. Students find it hard to find and keeping track of all the events in a college
2. Not knowing if the event is good
3. Students also prefer going in with someone
4. Students often forget to attend the event
5. Paying in cash is hectic for students

Persona

Solutions

1. In college students are often find it hard to contact the organizer and know about the event’s details plus the organizer has to advertise about the event otherwise there’s no way it could be discovered that’s why an app with all the upcoming events in a card-based system is a best to solve this problem
2. To solve this problem app will have an event rating system so students can like the events they are interested in or if they trust the organizer to conduct a nice event
3. The idea being that lot of human decision is influence by others so if my friend enrolled in an event I might too. Since the app collects the Enrollment no. it shows all your classmate who enrolled in that event
4. Students don’t remember to attend the event so the app also acts as a reminder for them and notify them about the event
5. App has integrated mobile payment system so the user can directly pay to enroll in an event

Due to limited time I wasn’t able to complete the final step that is testing, I’m constantly working on and soon I’ll be updating this post
